  • Patent number: 7603838
    Abstract: An edging attachment for a rotary lawn mower having a housing with a side wall and a cutting blade. The edging attachment comprises a flat bracket having a forward override angular edge. A mechanism is for mounting the flat bracket to the housing, so that it will extend down in a vertical position against the side wall, whereby the forward override angular edge will ride over obstructions on a lawn. A mechanism is for forcing grass on the lawn to move downwardly under the side wall towards the cutting blade to cut the grass. A mechanism is for deflecting the rotary lawn mower away from fences and other projections on the lawn. A guide assembly is adjustably connected vertically to the flat bracket, so that it can be pivotally retained in an upper inoperative position and a lower operative position.

  • Patent number: 4150601
    Abstract: An instrument pick which is designed to facilitate use by the player of a stringed instrument. The pick has a standard planar body with parallel raised surfaces attached on each side of the body. These raised surfaces are spaced a distance equal to the width of a normal human finger and thereby form a channel which the finger may rest in and is cradled by. In order to effect a secure grip of the pick, the channel formed on one face of the pick runs laterally of the pick while the channel on the opposite face runs longitudinally of the pick, thereby forcing the fingers of the user to be placed properly on the instrument pick.
